Extreme Luxury: X Games ESPN VIP Suite


November 8, 2017 // Insights

In July, the X Games were held at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Hosted, produced, and broadcast by ESPN, this annual extreme sports competition showcases top athletes and musical acts.

The X Games brings in hundreds of VIPs including ESPN executives, event sponsors, official partners and special guests.

To create an exclusive VIP event, ESPN wanted a high-end space to view the event, along with private transportation to accommodate their executives and invited guests. metroConnections delivered on all accounts in an extreme way.

We fully transformed Club Purple — the 10,000 square foot premium venue at U.S. Bank Stadium — into a custom branded X Games-themed suite from top to bottom. In addition, our seamless, round-trip transportation provided the 300 VIPs with worry-free travel from the hotel to the stadium throughout the four-day event.
